UMA is your existing mobile service running over Wi-Fi, providing better coverage and potentially discounted calling. <br /><br />A SIP client is *not* your standard mobile service. it's a new number and a new service. It's primarily used for cheap international calling. A SIP client does nothing to improve your coverage. <br /><br />Note that SIP is a technology, the problem is what service does it entail. And if the service is cheap local calling, well, UMA does that really well.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842299940187829570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34076379.post-5907664959202525142010-01-21T20:45:15.395-08:002010-01-21T20:45:15.395-08:00No surprise.

Initially they had a big marketing push with it -- but that died off..<br />I use UMA on my Blackberry and Love it -- it's a key reason I don't leave T-Mobile for another carrier.<br />@Home would have made a great partner with say a Cable company that didn't offer their own (or even one that did) voice service...Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34076379.post-38422045429620315822010-01-08T13:12:42.786-08:002010-01-08T13:12:42.786-08:00That's why we published the post, it is mislea...That's why we published the post, it is misleading.
